    If you change the grease zerk it also eliminates having to carry an adaptor under the truck.
    Some of our regular customers we did it just to make it easier for us the next time they came in, no charge.

    Yes, I didnt think about changing the zerk until I was in bed last night. I think Ill just do that cause its the only one that my grease gun wont get to.

    I was so frustrated yesterday I took the slack adjuster off to grease it!! But it took awhile to get it off because the snap ring doesnt have the 2 holes. So I bent it up trying to get it off. So now I have to go to one of the local parts stores and get one of those snap rings!

    Any advice on removing those??

    It’s not a great way to solve it but I went to the hardware store and picked up a brass 90 street fitting (lucky find, may require the 90 and a coupling). I’ve never had a problem with it being permanently on my grease gun.
